For parents and students in Year 11 who would like to find out more about coming to Lymm Sixth Form in September 2023, our Open Evening will be on Thursday 10th November 2022. This will be an opportunity for students and parents to tour the facilities, meet the Sixth Form staff, find out more about the subjects on offer and about life in general in the Sixth Form.

All Year 11 parents are invited to attend this event on Thursday 20^th October from 6–7pm in the Main Hall. We will be sharing proactive tips on how best to support Year 11 students with organising their revision in the run up to the December mocks, as well as core subject-specific strategies.

Dear Parent and Carer,

I am writing to inform you about a change to Lymm High’s PE kit policy. As you are aware, all students that need to be excused from a PE lesson need to have an explanatory letter from their parent/carer. They also need to still get changed into their PE kit to undertake other roles where possible (e.g. leader or official).

From Monday 26^th September, if students do not have their PE kits with them, they will need to wear one of our spare, clean kits.

Students have been made aware of this new requirement. We would appreciate your support in reminding your child to always bring their PE kit in to their lessons.

Yours sincerely,

Mr J Kerwin
Head of PE & Sport

‘Your Future, Your Choice, Move On’ will feature over 50 employers, further and higher education opportunities, independent training providers, and voluntary organisations all with options to extend students aspirations and chances. Please click here for a list of exhibitors.

Attendance can be as an individual or with parents and guardians, and while not exclusive, the organisers are encouraging pupil premium and SEND students to attend in the first hour when extra support will be available.

“We are aiming to make the event as meaningful as possible for all the attendees and the varied range of employers, training and volunteering opportunities will give a broad breadth of possibilities to expand your students”, say the organisers.

Dear Parents/Carers of Year 7,

As you may already be aware, as a school we use the online platform ‘Show my Homework/Satchel one’ to record weekly homework tasks for students. Via this platform, all homework set is viewable by students on a phone, tablet or laptop, alongside a timeline of deadlines to help them successfully manage their independent work and build positive learning habits. A student account can also be linked to parent accounts to allow you to support your child’s homework organisation.

While the majority of Year 7 students have been able to activate their accounts and log in, it appears some students do not know their high school email address, which is halting the log-in process.

For information, all student email addresses follow the format below:

‘Year of entry+first initial+surname’@lymmhigh.org.uk 

So for instance, a Year 7 student in this September’s intake, named Joe Bloggs would have the address: 22jbloggs@Lymmhigh.org.uk

Students will have set their own email passwords in IT lessons, and will have been sent a password reset email to allow them to log in to satchel one. Email is accessible via the school website.

If you are still having any difficulties logging in, please feel free to contact me at Smulholland@lymmhigh.org.uk and I can provide log-in PINS for parents and students.

Kind regards,
Miss Mulholland
